Slave Owner

In 1816, under Governor Lord Charles Somerset, Slave Registers were set up by district to prevent abuse and illegal enslavement of free people, but also as step in the process towards abolition of slavery^[7].

Pieter Francois, Jacobus' son, and his widow Margaretha Jacoba Theron had slaves, registered at the Tulbagh Slave Register, in Ledger H, Folio H3^[8], and Folio H38^[9]
